520			_a"Kiana: A Tradition of Hawaii" by James Jackson Jarves is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the intermingling of cultures through the arrival of a shipwrecked crew on the Hawaiian Islands, focusing on the influence of a Spanish priest and his companions on the native Hawaiian people, particularly the character Kiana, who is a descendant of a revered chief and significant figure in the island's lore. The opening of the novel sets a contemplative mood aboard a caravel drifting in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean during the early 16th century. The crew, led by Juan Alvirez and accompanied by his sister Beatriz, faces dire circumstances as they are stranded without provisions and plagued by despair. As they drift towards an unknown fate, the characters exhibit a mixture of hope and weariness. Beatriz emerges as a compassionate figure, focusing on nurturing her brother and the crew, while a priest named Olmedo offers spiritual strength. This scene of desperation foreshadows their eventual shipwreck, landing them on a mysterious and seemingly deserted Hawaiian island where they encounter the reigning chief, Kiana. The blend of tragedy and adventure sets the stage for a rich tale of resilience and cultural exchange. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
